Quantitative Infrared Spectrophotometry of Organic Nitrate Esters

Abstract

A quantitative infrared analysis of the N=O asymmetric stretching vibration band for the nitrate esters, ethyl nitrate, amyl nitrate, ethylene glycol dinitrate, glycerol trinitrate, and cellulose nitrate (12.53% N) is presented. Two solvents, chloroform and tetrahydrofuran were used; in both cases the validity of Beer's law appears well established over a reasonable range of concentration and cell path length. dover n jQuantitative Infrared Spectrophotometry of Organic Nitrate Esters.Technical rept.,Carignan,Yvon P. ;Hickman,Charles L. , IV;PA-TR- 4350(*infrared spectra, *nitrates), (*quantitative analysis, nitrates), solutions(mixtures), nitrocellulose, nitroglycerinnitrate/ethyl, nitrate/amyl, cellulose nitrate, glycol dinitrate/ethylene, *spectroscopic analysis, ethyl nitrate
